North Korea and Iran: Nuclear Futures and Regional Responses

This special report features abridged versions of four papers presented at the December 2006 workshop “Asian Proliferation 2015: North Korea, Iran, and Consequences for the Global Nonproliferation Regime,” two of which estimate the plausible technical nature of the nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran in 2015, and two of which evaluate conceivable regional responses to the more challenging security environments that nuclear weapons would create in each region.
